Although I have not read the book, there is one point that really hit home. I was created to crave God. I never thought about my food cravings as something that was taking the place of God. But for the first time I saw how I was using a few calories to sooth my soul instead of going to God.

I am not a snacker per se but there are those days that I need sweets. I deserve those extra calories because I have had a hard day. So, I rummage through our kitchen looking for something to meet my need. But after I find and devour the poor ingredients, the satisfaction is short lived. Either I feel guilty or it leaves me desiring more. What would happen if instead of feasting on short-lived energy I go and feast on God's Word?

Lysa TerKeurst isn't saying that having a sweet here and there is bad. She just makes sure that each indulgence is premeditated and not simply out of impulse. Something to think about!

About Me

Welcome to my little place on the web! I am a stay-at-home, Jesus-seekin' momma of four who loves to connect with and encourage other women! When I am not blogging or tweaking ideas for the ABCJLM Preschool Curriculum, you can find me doing the same things you do - loving, laughing, calming, training, and impressing upon our children to live for Christ in this "out-of-sync" world. So dive in and let's together figure out this thing called life. ~~Heidi
